Comment Comment by depressedpanda > Yet alas, mobile users still spend the vast majority of their time in native apps. What’s going wrong here?Easy:- Apple only allows one browser -- their own -- on iOS- Apple uses this control to cripple PWAs on iOS- Apple's iPhone market share is significant enough that if Safari/iOS doesn't support something, businesses won't spend time on using itE.g.: chat/communication apps cannot be written as PWAs, since Safari on iOS still doesn't support notifications. parent depressedpanda 4 years ago
Easy:
- Apple only allows one browser -- their own -- on iOS
- Apple uses this control to cripple PWAs on iOS
- Apple's iPhone market share is significant enough that if Safari/iOS doesn't support something, businesses won't spend time on using it
E.g.: chat/communication apps cannot be written as PWAs, since Safari on iOS still doesn't support notifications.
